At this time, Zhao Xiyan had just said goodbye to her eldest aunt Sun, and had just walked to the gate of the courtyard.
A sharp sound suddenly came, and then, a bright light suddenly appeared in the air in the distance.
Zhao Xiyan's expression suddenly changed.
This is the direction Xu Jing left.
Zhao Xiyan turned around and ran away without thinking. Hosta Haitang was confused at first, and then picked up her skirt and chased after her: "Where are you going, Miss?"
"Miss, wait a minute, slave."
Zhao Xiyan was extremely worried and hurriedly ordered: "Haitang, go ask Li Erhe to prepare the car."
When he came to Beijing this time, Zhao Xiyan brought Li Erhe with him. Li Erhe was young and drove the carriage smoothly and quickly.
Haitang nodded and quickly went to find Li Erhe.
Li Erhe had just unloaded the carriage and saw Haitang coming. He was a little surprised: "Why is sister Haitang here again? She must not have come to see me at such a late hour!"
Haitang had no intention of teasing him: "Stop talking nonsense. The lady wants you to hitch the carriage immediately."
Although Li Erhe was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately hitched up the carriage.
This also delayed about a cup of tea.
Zhao Xiyan stood outside the main door of Zhao's house. In the short time of burning the incense, the sky lit up twice more. Zhao Xiyan's heart sank.
Something must have happened to Xu Jing!
These days of smooth sailing made Xu Jing relax her vigilance, and she became careless. She thought that Murong Shen would play dirty tricks in the palace, or instigate and encourage Emperor Yongming to do something. Unexpectedly, Murong Shen could not wait to send
Someone assassinated Xu Jing...
"Miss, the carriage is here."
Zhao Xiyan suppressed her anxiety and got on the carriage: "Go to the place where there are fireworks signals in the sky."
Coincidentally, at this moment, the sky suddenly lit up again.
Li Erhe swung his whip and said, "I will drive over immediately."
Li Erhe was very skilled in driving. When the whip was cracked, the horse immediately let go of its hooves and galloped.
Mrs. Sun got the news at this time, got up from the bed, dressed and chased her out: "Yueya'er, it's so late, where are you going?"
The carriage has disappeared.
Mrs. Sun was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She loudly called the servants in the mansion to come over: "You should catch up immediately and don't let the bad guys hurt Miss Six."
…
Zhao Xiyan never thought of this at this time.
Guan Ji is in chaos, and this is absolutely true. Zhao Xiyan, who had always been calm and composed, was so worried when he thought about Xu Jing being surrounded by assassins and knowing whether his life or death was unknown, that he could not remember his own safety.
"Faster." Zhao Xiyan raised her voice.
Li Erhe cheered up and urged his horse forward.
Suddenly, noisy footsteps sounded.
"We are on official business to handle the case, and there are other people waiting. Please give in quickly."
Zhao Xiyan quickly lifted the car curtain and looked out. She saw seven or eight police officers wearing soap clothes and carrying long knives at their waists running forward quickly. These were the police officers responsible for the night patrol, and they were alerted by the strange light in mid-air.
Zhao Xiyan's violently beating heart calmed down a little.
No matter how stupid and incompetent Emperor Yongming is, he is still the emperor after all. The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and public security is relatively strict. At least, it has been relatively stable in the past few years.
In fact, even when the world was in chaos in the previous life, there was not much chaos in the capital. The Murong family joined forces with the Gao family to defeat Duke Dingguo and firmly controlled the capital. After the change of dynasty, the states and counties of the Jin Dynasty were in chaos, and countless people died.
.The people in the capital are almost safe.
Hosta's heart was beating wildly: "Miss, what should we do now?"
Zhao Xiyan glanced over her head and said, "Keep moving forward."
It was already curfew time, and the streets were empty. The sound of swords clashing and fighting coming from the distance was frighteningly clear.
Soon, another group of police officers arrived.
Li Erhe did not dare to come any closer, so he stopped the carriage and whispered: "Miss's safety is very important, we can't go any further. Just wait here!"
Here, you can already faintly see the figures of fighting.
Zhao Xiyan was sitting in the carriage, clenching her hands into fists, loosening them, and then clenching them again.
Time seemed to stand still. It seemed like a blink of an eye, and it seemed like an eternity had passed. The sounds outside finally subsided.
A familiar voice sounded: "Sister Yue Ya'er."
Zhao Xiyan's eyes heated up, she got off the carriage and rushed into Xu Jing's arms: "Brother Chunsheng!"
Xu Jing was startled, feeling a little sour but more sweet. He hugged his fiancée tightly and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
…
From meeting the assassin, to sending out the signal to pursue and kill him, it only took two sticks of incense from beginning to end. The period was dangerous, but frightening.
Xu Jing dodged the first arrow and led his soldiers to pursue the assassins. In the melee, three assassins in black were killed. One of his soldiers was also killed and five were injured.
"This group of assassins in black are extremely vicious." Xu Jing's eyes flashed with anger, and his voice was very low: "They were all life-for-life killing moves. I killed one, and the other two were seriously injured.
He bit the poison hidden in his mouth and died. There were a few others who ran away."
Who in the capital has such a dead soldier?
Who wants to put Xu Jing to death?
This answer is a no-brainer.
Zhao Xiyan trembled slightly, then took a step back and stood up straight. Xu Jing seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, and said first, "Don't you remember what you told me before coming to the capital?"
"You said, no matter what difficulties I encounter, you will face them with me."
"It's the same in my heart. Sister Yue Ya'er, it doesn't matter if you implicate me or I implicate you. In short, the two of us will never be separated. No matter what happens, we must face it together."
Zhao Xiyan's eyes were a little hot, and she nodded slightly without saying anything. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on Xu Jing's face.
Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately showed a fierce smile: "Although there are no survivors, clues can be found on the dead."
Xu San, who was tall and unsmiling, came over, cupped his hands and said: "To inform the crown prince, they are going to take all the corpses back to the Nancheng Army and Horse Department for search and autopsy."
Xu Jing nodded slightly: "I also want to go to the Military and Horse Department."
If he encounters an assassin, he, the victim, must report the crime himself.
Xu Jing looked at Zhao Xiyan again: "You go back and rest first, waiting for my news."
It is indeed inappropriate for women to show up in places like Yamen. Zhao Xiyan nodded.
Xu Jing was still worried and called Xu San over: "You can bring a few people and send Sister Yue Ya'er back to the Zhao Mansion."
In fact, Zhao Mansion's servants also came after them, and they were all tall and strong. However, these servants were only mediocre in skills and could only scare some rogues. They were of no use to real masters.
Xu San bowed his hands and accepted the order.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Xu Jing, Xu Jing grinned, waved at Zhao Xiyan and gestured to Zhao Xiyan to get on the carriage quickly.
After Zhao Xiyan got on the carriage and left, Xu Jing stopped smiling, got on his horse, and went to the Nancheng Army and Horse Department.
Coincidentally, the person in charge of the Nancheng Army and Horse Department was none other than Wu Anbo, the biological father of second brother-in-law Zhu Zhenchuan.
